Marie’s Wild Rice Casserole Supreme

We have found more complicated recipes for a wild rice casserole than this, but we have never found one that brings us more rave reviews. We try to make enough to ensure that we have leftovers for Cream of Wild Rice Soup.

Directions

Rinse wild rice with cold water and place in a large pot with the beef broth, thyme and basil. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 1 hour, or until tender. Remove from the heat and let sit for 30 minutes to absorb the remaining liquid. 2. Melt the butter in a large frying pan. Add the onions, and sauté until translucent. Add the mushrooms and brown lightly. 3. Combine the rice, mushroom, onion mixture and evaporated milk. Place in a greased 1 ½ -quart casserole, 4. Bake in a 350°F (1800C) oven for 30 minutes, until heated through.
